Dear Liana,
Bandit in the wider sense the word means an outlaw, a masked robber, especially a member of a gang. Bandits usually rob by violence.

In the case of the question about someone being robbed in the street "robber" is more usual than "bandit." "Bandit" is now very rarely used for robbery with violence, threatened or real, in Anglophone countries. It has the connotation of happening far way or in distant times. |
